Matsuyama, a Srixon & Cleveland staff player, birdied his final two holes to force a playoff against the in-form American. After a par on the opening hole, Matsuyama made a clutch birdie putt to keep the playoff alive. The pair then halved the third playoff hole but a par was enough for Matsuyma on the fourth after Fowler found the water on the tricky 17th hole.
The win lifted Matsuyama to 12th in the official world golf rankings, rising seven places from 19th.
